Native News.
We- .understand that the W^ragamii natives are at present engaged m erectinjg a very large- weather-boarded meetinghouse, on the reserve near Churton's College, which is a mile or two out, of the town of Wahganui, and near this river/. bank. .The building which wijl cost a considerable sum of money, is intended to accommodate Titokowaru anli his friends when they visit that .part 4f the country m about a month's time.' jt is supposed that Titokowaru'a multitude will be considerably swelled m numbers by^e.time. Wa^anui is, reached, anjd thfst' the meeting near GHurtoa's College will be.much, larger than the one ,now being foeld by the up-riyei' eHiefe ' at Bdnana., The v statement that there aie 10,000 natives at the latter place is cleaj:ly a gross exaggeration, or may be ]& mistake for 1000.
